Seniors

Here is some basic information about our senior pictures. For questions or additional information, please use the Contact item on the main site menu.

We do outdoor senior pictures, using only natural light. We try to shoot in a 1-2 hour window in the mid-September to mid-October time frame, usually late in the day. We can use several sites around Charleston (EIU, Lake Charleston, etc.), or you can select your own (church, house, parks, etc.). Travel is part of the shoot time, however, so sites that are close are best.

A standard shoot will give us 50-75 good photos (possibly more). You pay for the shoot ($75 per hour) and then the photos are uploaded here to our site. They are placed in a private gallery and you are given the password. From that gallery you can directly order any prints (or other items) you would like and they are sent directly to you. Note that we use a professional photo lab that does color correction for printing as well as offering many photo sizes that you cannot get elsewhere. These are very high quality prints. You can also order downloads (non-commercial use only). Included in the price of a download is a copyright permission form (available upon request), allowing you to create your own prints from the downloaded photo.

As part of a shoot, we also provide a short video, set to music, of the best pictures. We may also provide additional enhanced versions of some of the best pictures. If touch-up or enhancement is requested of an individual photo in the gallery, a $25 retouching charge, per photo, will apply. We can also customize a video for you, using your choice of music and photos.

We accept all major credit cards for prints and other merchandise ordered from the gallery. The photo shoots and any retouching are cash or check only, to be paid at the time of the request (retouching) or the day of the shoot.
